Here's my system thus far:

My stuff is divided into binders:

Binder #1:

* Orchid care log: this is where i put watering, fertilizing, potting, etc. of all my orchids combined

* Orchid Seedling log: this is where I keep everything related to the seedlings that I 'm growing

* Inventory sheets: I have a spreadsheet for every type of orchid, ie. catts, phals, vandas, miniatures etc, laelias etc.

Each inventory sheet contains the following information:
-name
-vendor
-when purchased
-bloom color
-bloom history
-initial size/culture information
-new/current culture information

* Supplies Needed List:
-I keep a running list of the supplies that I need so that I remember to buy.

* Orchid Wish list:

-I also keep a typed wish list, organized by grower/vendor.

Binder #2:
*Culture sheets from the Bakers. These are general culture sheets if I have only one or two of the same species. If I start getting 3 or more, they go to their own binder, so therefore, I have

Binder#3: species cattleyas (I plan to put the inventory thereof in their respective binder)

Binder #4: Mexican Laelias

binder #5: Brazilian Laelias

Binder #6: Rupicolous Laelias

Binder #7: Renantheras

Binder #8: Coelogynes

*random articles/information goes in their respective binder.


I need to get more organized though. UGH.
